Paolo Banchero - Named ACC Preseason POY Banchero was named the 2021-22 ACC Preseason Player of the Year on Tuesday.

Impact Banchero is a consensus top-5 and five-star recruit according to just about every outlet, with real potential to get into the NBA draft lottery after a presumed one-and-done season. It's a big honor for a freshman, even one expected to lead a projected first-place Blue Devils team. Banchero should check just about every box from a fantasy standpoint, as he's able to shoot from outside but also use his 6-10 frame to get to the rack. Joining him on the all-ACC first team are Buddy Boeheim (Syracuse), Keve Aluma (Virginia Tech), Armando Bacot (North Carolina) and Isaiah Wong (Miami).
